Using spellchecker

The Editor includes an as-you-type spell checking feature as well as a manual spell checking action to open a Spelling dialogue box.

How to manually spellcheck your document

Click on F7 to open the Spelling dialogue box.

 

The first identified misspelled word will be displayed with a suggested word to replace it with.

You can leave the suggestion or select a different one from the list of Suggestions under the 'Replace with' word.

You can:

  • Replace this word by clicking on the Replace button,

  • Replace all occurrences of the word in the document (starting from the cursor's position to the end of the document) using the Replace All button,

  • Ignore the first occurrence of the unrecognised word by clicking on the Ignore button, and

  • Ignore all instances of the unrecognised word in the document by clicking on the Ignore All button.

Hints and tips

You can change the size of the Spelling dialogue box by clicking on the bottom right corner of the box and dragging it to your preferred size.

The Ignore and Ignore all options will only work whilst you have the document open.  If you close the document and reopen, the ignored words will appear again in the spelling dialogue box again,(similar to the behaviour in Microsoft Word).
